Hi,

Yes you can use two subwoofers with two speakers. Just run left channel signal through the left subwoofer and right channel signal through the right subwoofer.

Technically this won't be a true three way speaker but more like a stereo subwoofer configuration. A true three way speaker has a woofer that has frequency response up to ~300-500 Hz, not 85 Hz like with a subwoofer. But for sure also this configuration has a lot of benefits over a normal stereo speaker system without subwoofer(s).
